The fact that many peer countries are struggling with COVID-19 roughly as much as the US suggests there's some naivety to claims such as "the US could greatly improve the situation with [my proposed solution]… IF ONLY WE HAD BETTER LEADERSHIP!!!".
Among what you might consider our closest peers, the UK's outcomes have been somewhat worse than the US across a variety of metrics. Canada's have been somewhat better but are trending toward the US. Germany better (though more similar than you'd think outside NYC). France worse.
And all of these countries are struggling with the "reopening conversation" just as much as we are. This might suggest that authors of these plans are not thinking enough about what the actual political (and logistical, etc.) constraints are.
